CleanThe Color Yellow – ColorPodz 19 | Babies do not cry and couples do not argue more in yellow rooms. My color bud and fellow Color Consultant, Beth Burns of Beyond White, tracked down a very interesting article that traces the source of some of the popular myths about the color yellow. That's just one of the topics we tackle in the podcast about yellow - we discuss a whole lot more! | 12/15/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanColor Theory – ColorPodz 17 | I mentioned in this post that I depend on color theory the way my seventh grade art teacher taught me to use it — as guidance and inspiration. In this podcast we discuss the origins of Color Theory and ask the question, "Why do we feel such a need to order and understand color?" | 10/26/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanColor Expert Louis Cheskin – ColorPodz 13 | Louis Cheskin (1907-1981). Clinical psychologist and famous color researcher. Strategic use of color in branding and packaging — marketing in general — was a concept Cheskin catapulted forward. Studying, implementing, experimenting, observing and then - lucky for us - reporting his findings and opinions in a prolific collection of books is how Cheskin established himself as a Color Expert. | 7/22/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanColor Myths – Color Meaning and Symbolism – ColorPodz 9 | You will want to listen as we boldly tame popular urban legends of color in this podcast. "When designing with color we must always see color in context, and not adopt the generalities. Although they might be true, we must first analyze if they pertain to a particular design situation.” | 7/8/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanLED Lighting Crash Course & Updates – ColorPodz 12 | As the night skies light up from fireworks, your head will be spinning with all the new ideas we share in this podcast to light up your home.

There are secrets to managing color so online designs and virtual paint techniques accurately represent proposed color palettes.

CleanColor Meaning Green – ColorPodz 10 | Even though we cover a full agenda in this podcast, it's just a drop in the bucket; there's so much to talk about when it comes to the hue green!

CleanColor Consultant vs. Interior Designer / Decorator – ColorPodz 8 | Color Consultants vs. Interior Decorators / Designers – a potentially provocative and controversial topic. Maybe not all clients are looking to purchase a designer’s top-to-bottom “Signature Style”. Maybe a large percentage are simply seeking color advice; what they really want and need is a skilled eye to synthesize new and old elements. | 5/7/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanColor Strategy for Ceilings – ColorPodz 7 | Did you know that flat, white above your head isn't your only option? Flop angle is a term for when color changes appearance based on the angle it is viewed. Color on the horizontal plane that is a ceiling will always appear more gray, cooler, and darker. | 4/28/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanColor Experts Discuss Paint Brands – ColorPodz 6 | What paint brands do professional color consultants use and recommend -- and why?

CleanColor Meaning Purple & Violet – ColorPodz 5 | Differentiating violet from purple proves to be a bit of a challenge even for us! Kelly, Rachel, and I get together to discuss this intriguing range of colors in an effort to better understand where — or if — they reside on the visible spectrum. Purple is known as the perfect balance between red and blue. That nurtures many common color associations both positive and negative and extremely diverse from rock-and-roll royalty like Prince and Stevie Nicks to blue-haired older women and nursing homes. | 4/12/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanWhite Paint Colors and Dim Spaces – ColorPodz 4 | Just because you have a dimly lit room, you are not sentenced to exclusively living with white or off white paint colors. We discuss how you can celebrate the light you have to work with and turn it into a positive aspect of the room — you don't have to play it safe! | 4/5/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanStrips of Color Chips, Fandecks & Color Collections | In a previous ColorPodz, I mentioned some strips of paint color chips seem to be neatly organized from darkest to lightest while others are comprised of colors that relate and harmonize, but don't quite look like a literal stepping down in scale. In this quick Burst, I talk about two commonly used collections of colors from Ben Moore as examples, Classic Colors & Color Preview. | 3/29/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanPaint, Funcolors, 2010 Color Trends – ColorPodz 2 | Part I we discuss various paint brands like Benjamin Moore, Farrow & Ball, and Full Spectrum Paint. Waiting until the last minute to seek professional color advice is a bad plan; listen to learn how you can prepare for paint day. Part II covers a variety of topics from my activity as "funcolors" on decorating forums to color trends. The picture to the left is my avatar. Her name is Rose and when you see her, you know you've found a post by "funcolors" (a.k.a. me!) | 3/22/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanEllen Kennon and Barbara Jacobs Podcast | Ellen gives us the scoop on all the changes at Full Spectrum Paints.

Color Myths
Loved the information in this podcast! I have never seen color psychology addressed this way and the podcast talked about it so different from what I have seen and heard before. This makes more sense to me than the other stuff.
